Emily Dickinson: It was a quiet Way - He asked if I was His - I mad
It was a quiet Way -

With swiftness, as of Chariots -
And distance - as of Wheels -
The World did drop away
As Counties - from the feet
Of Him that leaneth in Balloon -
Upon an Ether Street -
The Gulf behind - was not -
The Continents - were new -
Eternity - it was - before
Eternity was due -
No Seasons were - to us -
It was not Night - nor Noon -
For Sunrise - stopped upon the Place -
And fastened it - in Dawn -

Partakes without alighting
